[DoC] - The Five Towers
This should be the next (and fourth if I'm not mistaken) expansion for DoC. No release date yet, but I remember Elvin talked about the end of this year. This is the first description:
Tower of the Dreamer
Since the founding of the Lotus Empire, after the collapse of the Shantiri civilization, Naga truth seekers have been travelling in their dreams to a tower dedicated to Shalassa that they climbed to obtain new perspective and far seeing. Hundreds of Nagas have painted or described this tower in poetry with an exactitude and similarity that defy the laws of reason. Up until the discovery of the five towers, the Nagas had always believed that it was a mystical place existing only in the spirit world, but upon seeing the Dreamer’s Spire, they realized that it was in fact a real physical building, a memory of the Shantiris, and not the stuff made only of dreams.
Report from Hakeem to the Council of Nine
Dreamer’s Spire, whose design is by far the most peaceful and soothing of the five towers, remains a formidable defense all the same. The Shantiri Architecture, emboldened with magical water symbols dedicated to Shalassa, gives it a false harmless appearance. Akane, a Naga Wizard, and Gazal’s most faithful ally, was still occupying the tower when we escaped. She claimed that the spire is the legendary Dream Seeker tower of Naga legend. Whether that is true, or simply something she likes to believe, it seems to confer her a certain clairvoyance that will translate into a tremendous advantage in battle should we face her.

New Expansion - The Five Towers
As you can see, I link the spanish annoucement because I haven't seen yet an english annoucement, neither on their website nor the forum nor the english Facebook page, but it showed on the spanish version, so I guess is trustworthy.
You can read a rough translation with google translator until the english version is released, but from what I read there's nothing concrete about gameplay, just some read about the "Dreamer Tower", one of the five ones. it will affect the gameplay in some way, and it's inhabitated by Nagas.

Oh, I can't wait, it seems quite soon, as they have stated that it should be before the end of the year, so in one month and a half? 
Can't wait to see what new cards from it.

IMHO the expansions are cycling way too fast. There should be more time for each of them to "sink in", otherwise we risk overstreching.

Maybe this is a smaller xpack with "just" some new cards a the 5 towers stuff, without adding a whole new faction like VR and FW did?

Well, if they continue with their policy to release a tons of useless cards, then I am all for the new expansion every 3-5 months or so.
Inferno got quite bad or mediocre cards while Necro got almost useless cards, and no, I am not going to play same decks for 2 expansions...

Yes.. Inferno and necro decks especially did not get much change. You still see some new inferno cards in the meta but most of the necro ones I didn't even see a single time. I'd love to see some different archetypes for all factions, all we need is to adjust the creature/spell/fortune balance to reshuffle the strength of the top heroes.

Every expansion is new set of cards, but first set wasn't an expansion, because they weren't expanding anything.

Probably just new set of cards, as far as I know, we get new faction every 2 expansions(at least it seems so). We got it in Void Rising, then we didn't get it in Herald of the Void, then we got it in Forgotten Wars.
SpaceElephant also said that they are introducing some new platforms, "special creatures"(whatever that means) and things that we were requesting for a long time(same cards in multiple decks and other things I guess?), so it would probably be a little too much to add a new faction on top of that.
And I like more when they add more options to the existing factions then just rushing for new faction every few months.

Agreed.
New platform for multiple card use in decks will be very cool...

Tower of the Gardener / Gardener’s Watch
Gardener’s Watch is a vertical oasis climbing from dunes to clouds as if mimicking the Dragon Sylanna’s life-bringing tail; an inspiring hope in Ashan’s most barren desert. An ancient Elven song makes reference to this lost tower and is sung during the final feast of winter before the High King. The story describes the tower that moves from desert to desert, bringing fauna and flora to the most arid of places. The song finished, the traditional first garden seeds are planted that will sprout from the ground on the first day of spring.
Report from Hakeem to the Council of Nine
The Gardener’s Watch has been occupied by Arianna the Nethermancer, Sandro’s notorious undermage. She now follows Gazal, apparently one to go where the weather is stormiest. Arianna has found ways to use the tremendous Shantiri Earth magic flowing through the tower granite and living latticework to enhance the growth of both poisonous and regenerative plants. In spite its organic nature, it is no easier to climb, burn or breach than any of the other five towers.

I am wondering how these towers fit into DoC or if they will at all be active in cards.
A response from svilleneuve to a question: "So the towers will be the building cards?" was:
"Building cards? If you check our card list, we've got a couple of buildings (Halls of Amnesia, Tower of Oblivion, Sister's Tent) featured on fortune cards so...There will be cards with buildings on the illustrations. Of course, you have to understand I cannot give details about the coming expansion, even denying the existence of a new card type. We'll be revealing more informations soon enough."

Most likely they will be 5 unique fortunes.
Hope haven gets some tier 4 (might) good units because except Anael all are more or less garbage.
They should also nerf sots by making her again cost 3 and have a 3 magic requirement but making u choose when u deploy it between fortune ward or + 1 attack.
